Re: Sony DFC-F707, Robert Roque, Thanks for steering me in the right direction, I never thought it was the camera as the instruction manual warns of deleting formats on the disc. I did not use the eraser, but disconnected camera from USB to XP computer, set dial on 'set-up', turned camera on, got error report, pressed toggle button centre for 'exit' button shown, and got into set-up. Moved through menu to middle symbol, right-clicked and got on 'Format', right-clicked on toggle again, was given two options, being 'OK' or 'Cancel'. Pressed OK, and the memorystick reformatted itself. Then I was back to normal!!! Phew!!! I live and learn. Thanks all on this site! Regards, Jimmy.
